TCM SPECIAL THEME: James Bond
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
The second week of TCM’s Thursday night salute to the James Bond movies begins at 8 p.m. ET with the one film starring Sean Connery’s temporary 007 replacement, George Lazenby. He takes up the role of British secret agent James Bond in 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, which is much more noteworthy for featuring the classiest “Bond girl” in the canon’s history: Diana Rigg (pictured). Other films shown tonight are 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever(10:30 p.m. ET), with Connery reprising his Bond role; 1973’s Live and Let Die (12:45 a.m. ET), the first Roger Moore Bond movie, as well as the film with a great theme song by Paul McCartney and Wings; and 1974’s The Man with the Golden Gun (3 a.m. ET), the second Moore 007 film, and the one that proved beyond a doubt that Moore is less.
